Chapter 118 – Secrets of Birth (3)
“What are you doing? Don’t take off the handcuffs.”
Director Sam was elated. His attitude is completely different from when he begged his mother and Jae-yi to save him. With an arrogantly arrogant expression, even a smile on his face, he thrust his arms out.
Rattle. Rattle…
Her mother bit into her thick lips. As if she would bleed from her beautiful crimson lips. She desperately held back the outburst of anger.
My mother was a woman who was usually a gentle and elegant housewife, and a modest woman. She seldom got angry, and she always treated us kindly with a soft voice.
But on the days when things didn’t work out for her, when things went differently than she thought, her mother would run out of control with her.
Exactly, like now.
“Haa… Whoa…”
Mom let out a hot breath between her lips. She kept breathing in her deep breath to calm the fire burning in her chest. Thanks to that, her mother’s big breasts were swaying, showing off her groove.
“Jae-eun… Let me go.”
“Mom!”
“…Your mother.”
Reluctantly, the mother barely opens her mouth. Jae-yi called her mother as if she didn’t like her, but her sister Jae-eun faithfully followed her mother’s instructions.
Knocking… Took!
“Whoa… I finally feel like talking about it.”
Rattle!
Sam, the director, kicked her metal handcuffs off the ground with her foot and brushed off her wrists. Charter reversal. There seemed to be an inexplicable exhilaration and thrill running through his face.
“Now that I have released it… Now you can finish talking. Is it true that Lee Yeon-jae has a hidden son…?”
“Mijoo, why are you in such a hurry? Don’t worry. Teacher don’t run away. Slowly… Take it slow.”
“Speak quickly!”
In the quiet cellar, my mother’s tearing screams echo back. Her face became red hot before she knew it, and not only her face, but also the back of her neck, collarbone, and even her ears were dyed red as if blood were flowing.
“Oh… Your impatient personality is still the same.”
He clicked his tongue. As expected, he was a person who went through all of the prenatal battles, so the director was not an easy opponent to see. If I made a mistake, I could give up the initiative. Just like now.
“I’m sorry… But I don’t know where I am now.”
“What…?”
The mother’s expression hardened coldly. It is a situation where it is doubtful whether the director’s words are true or whether he is lying to live. A situation where even the authenticity cannot be confirmed.
Can I trust him to be true?
Rattle!
But mom was relentless. In an instant, her voluptuous breasts leaned forward, and before she knew it, the sledgehammer was in her hand again. Her mother’s hand, which held a blunt piece of iron, shook and trembled violently.
“Wah… Whoa! Wait, wait. What are you in such a hurry for? I’m not done talking to you yet. Don’t you know you have to listen to Korean to the end?”
Her director, Sam, hastily stopped her. This time, it wasn’t just a bruise, but a hole in the head.
If she’s a mad mother like she is now, she’ll be enough.
“Are you done talking? Anything else to say…?”
“Everything… Of course. Mijoo You seem to suspect that I am lying, but not at all. It’s the truth without a single lie. I swear on 30 years of my orphanage.”
He was on the verge of getting a hole in his head. The momentum to extend the thumb and little finger and stamp it on the face. He was ready to sell not only the nursery school but also his parents.
“Teacher… You know that I have a quick temper. If you do something stupid one more time, or condescend…”
“Ah… Ok ok ok. Everyone knows.”
The mother I know doesn’t put up with it until three times. She has twice been on the Maginot Line. Now that she’s put up with it twice, the third time really she won’t even be able to assure his life.
“Mrs. Yeon-jae begged me earnestly. She really said that she was in danger of dying and that only our child had to live, so she asked me to hide the child somehow.”
The director’s words are getting faster and faster. She seemed to intuitively sense that her mother’s patience was running out.
“I refused. Our nursery school is a place to raise children who have no place to go and have no parents. After all, she’s not hiding her children from a rich family in peril.”
“So. You said no? Are you saying she didn’t accept children?”
“Okay. I refused. Our nursery school said no. But…”
The head teacher paused for a moment.
Rattle.
Mom held the hammer in her hand and shook it gently. The clicks of her hard iron balls echoed distinctly.
“Busan…! I mentioned an orphanage in Busan. It’s run by the director I know, but it’s a village surrounded by mountains just like our nursery school, so there are few people and no one coming and going.”
“Busan…?”
“Okay. I thought it was safe there.”
“So… Is the child in Busan now?”
“Yeah… Yeah I don’t know. Now that I’m done talking with you, I was about to find out in earnest…”
Rattle.
Mom didn’t seem to like her answer. She held a heavy sledgehammer in her hand and she moved slowly, step by step, toward him.
“Why… Why but. It’s true. Really!”
Rattle.
Mom bit her plump lips again. From the expression on her face as she tilted her head, she seemed to be contemplating whether or not to hit her grandpa’s crotch.
“Hour… Time!”
“…”
“Hour. Give me time A week, no, three days is enough! If you give me that time, I will definitely find Mijoo and bring her to you.”
With death right around the corner, it was natural for a child, an adult, to become impatient. When I was a child in an orphanage, the man who looked so big and scary now looked more pitiful and pitiful than anyone else in front of me. Because in front of death, there is no pride, no age, and no parents.
“My… Please Mijoo. Please trust me just this once, just thinking of the old feelings…”
Sweet saliva ran down the back of my neck. Not only me, Jaeeun’s older sister and Jaeyi were also staring at the mother’s right arm holding a hammer.
It wouldn’t be strange if your hand went up and hit your head right away.
“Two days.”
“…What?”
“I will give you two days. Find that child unconditionally within the day after tomorrow and bring him before me. Would you be able to?”
“That… Then! It’s possible say it’s possible Find me somehow and bring me back. I will bring Mijoo in front of you even if I use all my personal connections.”
Did you think you were alive? Only then did a smile appear on the director’s face.
“Then… Can I go out now? I guess I’ll have to move right now to find it in two days.”
“Please.”
Her mother nodded her head coolly. At this time, the teacher who wants to quickly turn his back. His shirt was drenched in sweat and clinging to his skin.
“Yes, sir.”
“Uh…?”
Stop.
“How do I trust you?”
“What…? What is that…”
“That’s what being a human is. You’ve already kicked me out once, but it’s easy to throw me out twice. How can I trust you and just let you go?”
“No, Mijoo. This time it’s really… It’s real. Even if I swear by the name of this Kim Deok-soo. Do you want to trust me just once?”
“Poop.”
The mother, cold and hardened, burst out laughing at her. A smile trickled down her lips. But her mother’s eyes didn’t smile and she stared piercingly into the director’s pupils.
People do not believe just trust the situation.
It was my conviction that I have firmly adhered to since I was in orphanage.
It was the same for my mother too. It is also that the person who betrayed once is not trusted even more. It was enough to read her face looking at the director teacher with contempt. Although not a drop of blood was mixed, there was an oddly similar corner between my mother and my beliefs.
“Take Jae-eun with you.”
“Jae… Jae-eun?”
Surprised face. The director’s gaze was directed at Jaeeun’s sister’s large breasts.
“Jaeeun.”
“Yes, Mom.”
“Follow the teacher and see how well she does her job. Can you?”
“Sure, Mom.”
“What if… Very if. You know what to do when the teacher does nonsense, or when the time is up… You know?”
To her mother’s question, her older sister responded with a smile. Two people who seem to have spread out decalcomani. Not only were they round and soft, but they also had the habit of telling scary stories and smiling beautifully, like twins.
“Ah… I see. Mijoo Do as you say. Then… Can I go now?”
“Oh, and one more.”
Startle.
Mom’s fingertips circle the air…
Pointed at me
“Hostage.”
What…?
“Seongtan is the hostage. If Jae-eun cannot be contacted for more than half a day, or if she does not bring her child within two days.”
Gee… Fuck.
“Christmas is in my hands immediately…”
Rattle!
Mom held her hammer in her hand and shook it gently.
“Uh… Mom! What is that… Why am I holding a hostage…”
“Shh!”
Hostages… Hostages.
The mother’s expression was determined. Her expression is also a facial expression, but her mouth was automatically shut because of the metal that was shaking heavily in her hand.
“Now, thirty minutes have passed. Do you think we should leave soon to go to Busan?”
Mmm… Crazy.
My eyes met with the director, who was drenched in sweat. After staring at me for a few seconds, he nods.
What does it mean…
Anyway, now I was in the same boat as the gray-haired old lady.
I’m really in this basement…
Can I get out alive?
